Glad you asked.
There were LOTS of complaints on the forum from disgruntled Alliance members at the time during 8.2. I remember, because I was one of them.
For proof: here’s a link to one of the complaint threads from a couple months after 8.2 went live: horde-on-3rd-emissary-weapons-cache-since-patch-alliance-at-zero
And yes alliance has had more weapon emissaries this patch … but only by one. Yours will come up shortly I’m sure.
